This is a graduate course designed and develo ped in my department\, in which we give basic advice and offer mentorship to our graduate students and post-docs. The central theme of this presenta tion is that succeeding in Science requires skills (often referred to as ‘soft professional skills’) beyond those needed for Science. The lectu re aims at giving basic guidance and mentoring to young scientists (typica lly science and engineering undergraduate and first year graduate students ).\n\nThe main topics are:\n\n- The job market for graduates in science an d engineering (industry\, national labs and academia\; advantages and disa dvantages)\n- Funding in modern science\n- Publish or perish\; publishing quality papers\, having an impact\n- Presenting your work to your peers\n- The fundamental laws of ‘scientific survival’ (know yourself\, plan a head\, and play chess)\n- Ethics in modern science\n- Alternative careers\ n\nReference: [1] F.

He held the Canada Research Chair (Junior) in Nanostructured Organi c and Inorganic Materials (2003–2013) and the Canada Research Chair (Sen ior) in Nanostructured Materials (2016–2023). Since January 2014 he hold s the UNESCO Chair in Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion\, S aving and Storage. Since March 2023 he holds the Chair of Industrial Chemi stry at the Department of Chemical\nand Pharmaceutical Sciences\, Universi ty of Trieste. Dr. Rosei’s research interests focus on structure/propert y relationships in nanomaterials and\ntheir use as building blocks in emer ging technologies. He has worked in partnership with over twenty Canadian R&D companies. He is co-inventor of three patents and has published over 5 10 articles in prestigious international journals (including Science\, Nat ure Phot.\, Nature Mater.\, Nature Chem.\, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci.\, Adv. Ma ter.) which have been cited over 27\,900 times (H index = 89). He is Fello w of numerous prestigious national and international societies and academi es\, including: the Royal Society of Canada\, the European Academy of Scie nce\, the Academia Europaea\, the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. H e has received several awards and honours\, including the Brockhouse Medal (Canadian\nAssociation of Physics 2022)\, the Canadian Light Source – T K Sham Award in Materials Chemistry (CSC 2023)\, the Spirit of Salam Award (ICTP 2023)\, a Guggenheim Fellowship in Engineering (2023)\, Knight of t he National Order of Quebec (2023) and the AVS Nanotechnology Recognition Award (2024).\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Federico Rosei\, \n\nRoom: ASB 10908\, Bl dg: Applied Science Building\, 8888 University Dr.\, Burnaby\, British Col umbia\, Canada\, V5A 1S6\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/47414 9 LOCATION:Room: ASB 10908\, Bldg: Applied Science Building\, 8888 University Dr.\, Burnaby\, British Columbia\, Canada\, V5A 1S6\, Virtual: https://ev ents.vtools.ieee.org/m/474149 ORGANIZER:mmadachi@sfu.ca SEQUENCE:25 SUMMARY:"Mentorship for Young Scientists: Developing Scientific Survival Sk ills" by IEEE EDS Distinguished Lecturer Prof. Federico Rosei URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/474149 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Title "Mentorship for Young Scient ists: Developing Scientific Survival Skills"</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Spea ker: Federico Rosei\, Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences\, University of Trieste\, Italy</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> <br>In this lecture\, I will try to convey a feeling for our course on &ld quo\;Survival Skills for Scientists&rdquo\; [1].
